"Chasing Waterfalls" is TLC's way of expressing how people chase intangible dreams with no thought of the consequences. The first verse is talking about an inner city mother-and-son relationship. He is chasing "waterfalls" (money and respect by dealing drugs), but his mother knows this cannot end well. The second verse deals with a man's relationship with a woman. His "waterfall" is casual sex - he has a "natural obsession for temptation." This could mean he is cheating on someone or the woman he is seeing is cheating on someone. Either way, he contracts HIV and dies ("three letters took him to his final resting place"). TLC were big on AIDS awareness - Left Eye would often wear condoms attached to her clothes and in her glasses to promote safe sex.

Debut solo record from Natalie Merchant after leaving 10,000 Maniacs.
The Seattle band broke up shortly after the release of this record.
This song from Radiohead's second album, 1995's "The Bends," was chosen as their first US single. It proved to be hard to make. The band were finding it difficult to nail this song and decided to take a break and catch a Jeff Buckley gig at Highbury. When they returned to the studio mesmerized by Buckley's set, Thom Yorke sang the song twice before breaking down into tears. "If I could be who you wanted If I could be who you wanted all the time All the time…" According to Yorke, this was the song where he found his lyrical voice.
